MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 45 (two)
, I thought that Cousin Yu would also accuse him like Grandpa, but I didn't know that such a sentence came.
"Cousin Yu, don't you tell me?"
"Why should I tell you? I want to teach Lu Zhaoan a lesson more than you." Teng Yuyi smiled, "But have you ever thought about it, once you tell him that it was you who did it, he is very likely to reveal what happened to your sister. As far as he was concerned, it was just an innocuous affair, but my sister's reputation was ruined."
Du Shaotang gritted his teeth and said, "I already planned it... I will never let him notice."
"Very good." Teng Yuyi nodded reassuringly, "You are old, you know the plan and then move, but even if you succeed, Lu Zhaoan can at best take care of the injury for half a month, and then he can be a decent talent for him. ."
Du Shaotang was stunned.
"To deal with this kind of person, it's too cheap to beat him, at least let him get out of Chang'an."
"Cousin Yu-"
Teng Yuyi got up and paced. The death of her cousin in her previous life was a thorn in her heart. According to her, the murderer who strangled her cousin in the bamboo forest that night was most likely Lu Zhaoan. Otherwise, where would the man's boot print beside her cousin's body come from.
Moreover, according to her observation that day, when Lu Zhaoan was in distress, he ignored the life and death of his companions in order to escape.
She took something out of her sleeve and turned around and handed it to Du Shaotang: "Look."
Du Shaotang unfolded the thing: "This is?"
"This is Lu Zhaoan's whereabouts these days." Teng Yuyi pointed at several places on the cloth, "Besides our people, there are also Lin Chengyou's people following Lu Zhaoan. He should have found something, or else he would have evacuated them earlier. , we might as well wait patiently, if Lin Chengyou doesn't write anything, it's not too late for us to plan well."
Du Shaotang was both surprised and delighted: "I just assumed that Lin Chengyou didn't care about this matter, but I never thought of checking it out with my own eyes... If he was willing to make a move, Lu Zhaoan would definitely not be able to walk away. Cousin Yu, you are still thoughtful, I...I Too reckless."
Teng Yuyi thought to himself, no matter how weak Shaotang is, he is still **** when it comes to sister.
"You have to remember, to deal with such a traitorous villain, it is enough if you don't make a move. As soon as you make a move, you have to hit the opponent's key point. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to hurt the opponent, but you will only bring endless trouble to yourself." Teng Yuyi said After seeing Du Shaotang startled, he coughed, "It's good that you know these nonsense, you don't need to tell my uncle and aunt."
Du Shaotang couldn't help laughing. If these are also fallacious words, wouldn't everything Cousin Yu said on weekdays be fallacious? In fact, he liked to get along with Cousin Yu since he was a child, but it was a pity that Cousin Yu thought he liked to cry and didn't like to play with him.
"Cousin Yu, don't worry, I've kept it in my heart." Du Shaotang smiled. He already looked alike with his sister. With a smile, his beautiful brows and eyes widened, which was more pleasing to the eye than Cai Cai's bitter appearance.
"If you're fine in the past two days, you can gather around Lin Chengyou more. Apart from watching his attitude towards Lu Zhaoan, I have one more thing for you to do." Teng Yuyi took out the Xiaoya sword, "Look, is this sword bleak? a lot?"
Taking advantage of the situation to talk about Lin Chengyou's bathing soup, Du Shaotang's mouth opened wider and wider: "I...this..."
Teng Yuyi was even more embarrassed than Du Shaotang, but Xiaoya didn't have much time left, so he bluffed and glared at Xingyuan's eyes: "Why, do you have the heart to watch my cousin's divine sword become a piece of junk?"
Du Shaotang's brows and eyes tangled again: "Of course not...but Lin Chengyou doesn't live in Yequanxuan, but lives in Feiyi Pavilion with other royal children. I'm afraid it's not easy for me to go in...hey...well...I'll give it a try."
Teng Yuyi coughed a few times: "Remember what my cousin taught you, the harder it is to do, the more patient you need to be. It may not be successful once, just wait for the opportunity."
Du Shaotang raised his chest: "It must be done for my cousin."
***
The dinner was delivered to each room by servants. As soon as the meal was finished, the steward came to invite him, saying that Princess Changyi and Princess Azhi were here. They had already set up a bonfire outside the waterfall and invited the juniors to play. .
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan resigned Mrs. Du and went to Puquan on their own. They came out to meet Zheng Shuangyin and others in the corridor on the second floor, and they walked together.
Teng Yuyi noticed Du Shaotang's figure everywhere as he walked, and then walked under the shade of flowers near the waterfall, when a person who looked like a palace maid came over and said, "Which one is Mrs. Teng? Princess Azhi is looking for something."
The girls looked at each other in surprise.
Teng Yuyi looked at the palace maid carefully and confirmed that she was a servant of the Cheng Palace. Then she looked up and saw Du Shaotang standing under a willow tree. She winked at Shaotang calmly, and said to Du Tinglan, "Maybe it's a question of poetry. For social work, I will come when I go."
The palace maid led Teng Yuyi around the flower court with seven turns and eight turns, and the more she went in, the more secluded she became. With things close to you, you can know in advance whether there are evil spirits nearby.
Arriving in front of an exquisite mountain col, the palace maid said with a smile, "Miss Teng, here we are."
After saying that, without waiting for Teng Yuyi to ask more, he bowed and stepped back.
Teng Yuyi stopped and looked around, not even a single figure was seen around him. He listened carefully, and there was a small sound of water in front of him. He continued to walk in, and a fine mist of cold water rushed towards him.
It turned out that there was a clear water pool hidden not far in front of it, with a waterfall several feet wide flying straight down, and the shore was full of flowers.
Lin Chengyou sat idle on a rock beside the spring, as if he had been waiting for a while, when he heard the footsteps behind him, he threw the branches in his hands into the pool, turned his head and looked at Teng Yuyi, the jade pendant around his waist followed him. Movement, making a slight clanging sound.
Teng Yuyi looked at the white lotus seeds on his body, and secretly thanked that he had changed his dress in advance, otherwise the two would feel weird when they met at the moment.
"Sir." She smiled and bowed.
Lin Chengyou was used to seeing Teng Yuyi wearing men's clothes, and suddenly saw her wearing a graceful smoky purple high-cut skirt, which made her feel a little dazzling, he coughed: "If Madam Teng didn't ask someone to send me a message, I would have forgotten to pay it back. There is a string of Xuanyin bells on you, you just ask me to give it to me, why ask me to meet?"
For this reason, he has to make arrangements for it, which is quite troublesome.
Teng Yu said apologetically, "I don't want to do this either. You see, Shizi, I can't take this bell off."
As she spoke, she walked towards him, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the silvery pool of water behind Lin Chengyou.
Lin Chengyou felt strange in her heart, her face was pale, and she looked frightened. Could it be that she saw something? Following her gaze and looking behind her, she saw nothing but water pools and flower bushes.
Teng Yuyi quickly regained her normal color, but she still didn't dare to go forward, she just raised her snow-white wrist: "I can't hide from the prince, since I came back from Caifeng Tower that night, I couldn't take off the bell. I tried a lot. Fazi, this bell is getting tighter and tighter."
Lin Chengyou secretly paid attention to her expression. Seeing that she kept her eyes away from the water pool when she spoke, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: Maybe she is afraid of water.
He looked at her wrist suspiciously, got up and walked towards her: "I really can't take it off? Let me see."
Teng Yuyi gently rubbed down in front of Lin Chengyou, but the round bell seemed to grow in the flesh and could not be slapped down.
Lin Chengyou frowned when he saw it: "Hey, it's time to break it if you keep pulling."
Teng Yuyi said helplessly: "I was afraid of breaking the bell, so I had to ask someone to send a message to the prince."
Lin Chengyou looked at her wrist. He had never heard of this thing, but he couldn't take it off for no reason. He thought about it, took a bottle from his arms and handed it to her: "Wipe this Try again on your wrist."
Teng Yu's opinion was a bottle of potion, expecting that it would have a smoothing effect on the skin: "I tried the bath beans when I was in the mansion, but I still couldn't get it off."
Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: "This isn't a bath bean, it's called a reed bait. If you apply it to a magic weapon, it can make the magic weapon's spiritual power disappear for a while. Although I don't understand what Xuanyinling is doing, it is a rare Taoist treasure. It has been locked in Qingyunguan for all these years, who knows if it has raised an artifact spirit, you can apply it first, by the way, did you bring a veil?"
"I brought it." Teng Yuyi took out the veil.
At this time, she had already rubbed the potion on the bell, and was about to try to remove it, but Lin Chengyou said to wait, and folded the handkerchief several times and handed it to her: "Tie the handkerchief around first."
Teng Yu did not know what to do, and did what he said.
"Offended." Lin Chengyou raised his hand to hold her wrist, Teng Yuyi was startled, and hurriedly pulled his hand back.
"Don't move." Lin Chengyou felt a little uncomfortable, "It's no use just smearing the reed bait, you have to recite the spell."
I see. Teng Yuyi coughed: "Understood! Sir, please start."
Lin Chengyou was originally very magnanimous, but when she said this, it seemed like he really wanted to do something to her.
He glanced at her: "What do you think I will do to you?"
Teng Yuyi wondered: "Of course not, I just..."
"It's fine if you don't, stop thinking about it."
Teng Yuyi choked, who was thinking nonsense?
Lin Chengyou instantly regained her normal color, and helped her to remove it through the veil. Fortunately, the veil was so thickly folded that her fingers could not feel the temperature of the opponent's skin.
But although the bell was not slippery, it was still firmly on Teng Yuyi's wrist.
Lin Chengyou recited the mantra upside down several times, but how could he know that it was completely useless.
"It's weird." The two said in unison.
Lin Chengyou let go of Teng Yuyi's wrist: "Forget it, maybe there's some reason, wait until I go back and check it out. I'll put this thing on you first."
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, hoping that no evil spirits would come to her in the past few days, otherwise Lin Chengyou would know immediately when the bell rang on her side.
"By the way, this potion will damage the spiritual power of Xuanyin bell if you apply it for a long time. You should go to the pool and wash the potion on the bell."
Teng Yuyi didn't rush to return the bottle of reed bait to Lin Chengyou, but first lifted the handkerchief on her wrist. Seeing that the potion had seeped into her texture, she didn't look at the pool over there, but said, "Okay, I'll go back. Just wash."
Lin Chengyou said, "It's too late, the longer it drags on, the more it will damage the spiritual power. Besides, this medicine is useless after washing it off, so you have to recite a spell, otherwise if the thief steals this medicine and harms people, won't all the magic tools in the world be ineffective? , so even if it's cleaned, you have to unravel the curse again."
Teng Yuyi frowned, she didn't even dare to approach the water pool, how could she go to the water pool to twist the handkerchief. But Lin Chengyou only saved her life not long ago, and these bells were put on for her to guard against corpse evil. If her spiritual power was damaged because of her, it would be too inauthentic.
Looking up at Lin Chengyou, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, her doubts were relieved. She has always had a clear sense of grievance and grievance. Although she was scared to death, she nodded and said, "Okay. Wait a minute, Shizi, I'll go wash right away. ."
As he spoke, he walked towards the water pool, telling himself as he walked, that there is nothing to be afraid of just a small water pool, but after walking a few steps, his legs trembled uncontrollably.
In a cold sweat, she thought, if the previous life drowning was hidden, and she only said that she fell into the water on the way to Chang'an and left behind the problem of being afraid of water, Lin Chengyou probably wouldn't be suspicious, but this is not the way to go, why not take this opportunity to solve this problem changed.
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi's back with complicated eyes. He guessed right. She was really afraid of water. In fact, because of her intelligence, if she really didn't want to wash the veil, she didn't have to worry about finding excuses, and suddenly thought of her and Juesheng that night. When she was trapped by the corpse evil, she may have pity Jue Sheng's young age, or out of loyalty, she actually risked her life to save Jue Sheng.
And since the night she passed the Caifeng Tower, she seemed to be a lot more friendly to him. At this moment, she thought that he regarded him as a savior, so she was willing to embarrass herself instead of playing tricks in front of him...
Tsk, he actually thought that Teng Yuyi like this was a little cute.
Teng Yuyi finally moved another two steps, but her face was getting worse and worse. At this time, Lin Chengyou suddenly walked over and took the veil from her hand.
Teng Yuyi was surprised.
Lin Chengyou squatted to the edge of the pool and twisted it, got up and handed her the wet handkerchief: "Are you afraid of water?"
Teng Yuyi came back to his senses, and while taking the wet handkerchief and carefully wiping the potion on the bell, he said gratefully, "I came to Chang'an a while ago and fell into the water, and now I am horrified when I see the water."
She thought to herself, Lin Chengyou saw that she was afraid of water but didn't mean to make things difficult for her. It could be seen that although this person was arrogant and reasonable, she suddenly changed her mind and tried to say: "Last time, Jue Sheng and Abandoned Wisdom Dharma Instruments. Most of them have spirits hidden in them, I didn’t believe them at first, but according to today’s situation, it seems that even Xuanyinling has a temper, I heard that some instruments need to be enshrined with human bath soup, I wonder if this is true?”
"Bath soup?" Lin Chengyou sneered, "Dharma tools like clean things, why would they use bath soup to enshrine them? Not to mention the magic tools of Qingyun Temple, not even the "Wuji Baojian" which records Taoist treasures. I've heard of it. Maybe someone made a crooked idea and deliberately used this to bluff you."
Teng Yuyi closed her mouth tightly, someone was indeed making a crooked idea, and that person was her. Originally wanted to discuss with him, but seeing Lin Chengyou's sneering attitude, it is estimated that even if she broke her throat, he would never give her the bath soup.
Because of a series of Xuanyin bells, the two of them can't be involved anymore, in case Lin Chengyou mistakenly thinks she is coveting him...
Besides, even if he finally believed her statement, what a private thing the bath soup is, anyone would feel ashamed, embarrassed, and annoyed by handing the bath soup to a woman who doesn't know well...
If Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi accidentally found out, would she still want to be a human being in front of them? Therefore, not only can't you openly ask Lin Chengyou for it, but you have to do it without knowing it.
Lin Chengyou went to the pool and twisted the handkerchief again and came back, looking at her suspiciously: "What are you thinking?"
Teng Yuyi smiled and said, "It's been a while since I came out. I'm worried that my cousin is looking for me."
Lin Chengyou and other Teng Yuyi wiped off all the potion, then bent **** and recited the mantra in a low voice.
The bell lit up in a blink of an eye, and Teng Yuyi's white wrist became more and more translucent.
Lin Chengyou remembered the bell ringing stone in his arms, no matter how unlucky Teng Yuyi was, there was no reason to encounter evil spirits one after another. He put this thing on him for the time being, so he didn't have to worry about making noises at night.
"Okay. Just walk along the way you came, and someone will lead you out."
"En." Teng Yuyi nodded at Lin Chengyou, and after walking two steps, it seemed that he remembered the reed bait in his hand, and hurriedly turned around, "I forgot to return this to the prince."
Unexpectedly, she stumbled and fell directly towards Lin Chengyou. She was shocked and desperately defended the bottle of reed bait in her hand. As a result, she threw a small thing the size of a fist from her sleeve too hard, and it happened to hit Lin Chengyou's leg.
It was a sack of rouge-colored juice, and even if Lin Chengyou dodged in time, it still splashed all over his body.
Both of them were stunned, Lin Chengyou looked down at the embarrassed clothes, was silent for a long time, shook the juice on his sleeves, and said lightly: "Ms. Teng hasn't practiced kung fu much these days, her skills are still so bad. "
For the first time, Teng Yuyi felt guilty for plotting against Lin Chengyou, but who told Xiaoya to wait for the bathing soup, she handed the intact reed bait to Lin Chengyou, and kicked the sharp stone under her feet angrily: "I tripped over this stone. Just a moment... Shizi, I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean to-"
"Forget it." Lin Chengyou said angrily. In fact, he could have avoided it. It was because he saw the sharp stones under his feet that he hesitated. Teng Yuyi was stable enough to avoid falling, but once he fell to the ground, these sharp stones would Enough for her.
He shoved the reed bait into his arms without saying a word, and unexpectedly smelled the aroma of sweet wine in the air.
He took a sniff, and his face became increasingly ugly: "Don't tell me this is Pu Tao wine..."
Teng Yuyi nodded embarrassedly: "I'm afraid the prince's clothes..."
This wine is sweet and sticky, and changing clothes is not enough. If you don't wash the residual wine soaked on your skin as soon as possible, no matter how many new clothes you change, it will be sticky.
Lin Chengyou smiled: "Teng Yuyi, it's really yours. It doesn't matter if you carry a hidden poison weapon with you, you even carry Pu Tao wine with you."
He glared at her and walked in the other direction.
Teng Yuyi watched him leave with guilt. Fortunately, Lin Chengyou didn't get suspicious this time, but she wouldn't dare to guarantee it again. She only hoped that Shaotang would succeed once, so that nothing could go wrong.
After a while, the palace maid appeared again and led Teng Yuyi along the way she came.
Before arriving at the flower garden, the princes and ladies of the various prefectures were already full of seats.
Lin Chengyou arranged it perfectly. As soon as Teng Yuyi walked over, Princess Azhi came from the other side. The two appeared almost at the same time, as if they had an appointment together.
Du Tinglan was afraid that Lin Chengyou would embarrass Teng Yuyi under the pretense of Princess Azhi's name, so he had been waiting at the same place. Later, Shaotang came to tell her that cousin Yu had other arrangements, and asked Du Tinglan to return to the table to wait. Du Tinglan entered the table anxiously, but he was never at ease. At this moment, seeing Teng Yuyi appear, his hanging heart fell to the ground.
The seats were already very lively, but a few seats were vacant, as if they were waiting for someone. Only after inquiring did I find out that there were several female relatives of Jiedu envoys from other places who were still on their way to Royal Suchuan because they had just arrived in Chang'an. The feast will officially start when these people arrive.
While chatting with her cousin, Teng Yuyi looked towards the road.
It didn't take long for Shaotang to come. Instead of going to the men's seat, he went straight to Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan and sat down. Everyone didn't take it seriously. First, Du Shaotang was still young, and secondly, everyone knew that he was the younger brother of the two.
Du Shaotang's hands trembled slightly, and quietly handed a bamboo tube-like thing to Teng Yuyi, and said happily and nervously, "Cousin Yu's arrangement is foolproof, Duanfu's skill is even more remarkable, and the thing was successfully brought."
Teng Yuyi was overjoyed: "Okay."
She secretly touched the hilt of the sword in her sleeve and told Xiaoya to rest assured. After a while, she felt that something was arching in her sleeve. Xiaoya seemed to be impatient to hold the bamboo tube and smell it. Write on it.
"Not good! It's dirty with other people's bath soup, so I can't take it!"
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment. Feiyi Pavilion only lived in the royal family. What kind of identity was Lin Chengyou?
But Xiao Ya didn't want to show her temper at this juncture, she asked Du Shaotang in a low voice, "Shaotang, are you sure this is Lin Chengyou's bath soup?"
Du Shaotang put down the wine glass in surprise: "Yes, I told Duanfu as soon as I saw Lin Chengyou entering the hot spring pool."
Teng Yuyi was surprised, Feiyi Pavilion actually has a hot spring pool? ! The water in the hot spring pools circulated with each other, and there was no such thing as one pool.
Du Shaotang said uneasy, "Although the hot spring pool is big, only Lin Chengyou went in alone, isn't it possible?"
Judging from Xiao Ya's reaction, I'm afraid it won't work. Teng Yu thought about it for a moment, comforted Du Shaotang and said, "You did a good job. Tonight, there are a lot of heroes from all over the world. You should go to the men's table and remember your husband's heart. If you want to be able to hide things, don’t feel guilty when you meet Lin Chengyou.”
Du Shaotang didn't expect that he would be a big help as soon as he made his move, so he was encouraged, nodded happily, got up and strode to the men's seat.
Du Tinglan grabbed Teng Yuyi's sleeve: "What the **** are you and Shaotang doing?"
Teng Yuyi told Du Tinglan the reason why, Xiaoya suddenly stroked Teng Yuyi's arm hard a few times: Come!
Teng Yuyi looked up and saw that a group of noble sons happened to be coming. Lin Chengyou walked at the end, surrounded by a large group of Gaoliang's children.
Lin Chengyou changed into a new bamboo-blue robe, and his temples were still wet. He glanced in Teng Yuyi's direction while joking, and quickly turned his head away. Teng Yuyi's eyelids jumped. Be suspicious.
In order to force Teng Yuyi to think again, Xiaoya kept pushing her arm. Teng Yuyi helplessly wrote on the hilt: I said, can you change someone?
Xiao Ya seemed to be annoyed by this, not only refused to answer, but stomped a few times on Teng Yuyi's arm, but after only two steps, he fell weakly.
Teng Yuyi became more and more uneasy, and Xiao Ya's spiritual power was obviously disappearing rapidly.
She patiently coaxed him: If he is not good, I can think of others.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, I felt that Xiaoya gently wrote a word: Chun.
King of Chun'an?
Xiaoya seems to have compromised: his bath soup is not as good as those of the three, but he can make use of it.
Teng Yuyi bit her head and looked with her eyes, and saw the Prince of Chun'an in Baocuiting not far away.
The Prince of Chun'an was sitting cross-legged on the banquet in the pavilion, and in front of him was a lacquered violin. .
There are also many literati and elegant scholars in the pavilion, sitting or lying down, or reciting poetry or drinking tea, all of which are pleasant and romantic.
In the veranda outside the pavilion, there were several noble ladies, who seemed to be strolling, but their eyes swept to the Prince of Chun'an in the pavilion from time to time.
Teng Yuyi was pounding in his heart. After the wine feast was over, the Prince of Chun'an would have to take a shower and change his clothes. It was a big deal to steal the bath soup in the same way, but if Lin Chengyou was really suspicious, it would be tantamount to throwing himself in the net again.
No, Shaotang and Duanfu can no longer be allowed to take risks.
Moreover, if the Duke of Chun'an also went to the hot spring pool to bathe like Lin Chengyou, wouldn't they steal it again for nothing?
After thinking about it, the best way at the moment is to ask Grandpa to ask for a bath soup from Prince Chun'an. The Prince of Chun'an County is a humble person, and he is expected to talk a lot better than Lin Chengyou, not to mention that the grandfather has a good relationship with the Prince of Chun'an County.
With the thought together, Teng Yuyi hurriedly ordered Biluo to send a message to Grandpa. Grandpa told her in the morning that he would rush back to Chang'an overnight, hoping that he would be able to go there in time.
Biluo came back but said that the master had left.
"Huo Qiu said that the master left behind most of the guards before he left, and asked them to take care of the lady for the past few days... The master left after dinner, and the father-in-law took a few uncles and sent them to the villa in person."
Teng Yuyi's brows furrowed, Xiaoya, a little old man, didn't say earlier that King Chun'an's bath soup would work just fine. What should I do now, do I need to ask my uncle to come forward? But compared to grandpa, uncle is obviously much more troublesome. Looking down at his sleeve, Xiaoya has been lying motionless for a long time. I'm really afraid that he won't survive tonight.
She thought about it anxiously, and got up with Biluo and Chunrong.
Du Tinglan said in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
Teng Yuyi whispered: "It's because of this sword, Xiaoya is dying, I have to go to my aunt to help me as soon as possible."
Du Tinglan also got up: "I'll accompany you."
Teng Yuyi shook his head: "The two sisters left Xi Tai together, and my sister stayed to help me cover up. The horizontal and vertical blessings won't be too far away from me. I'll go back when I go."
Over there, Lin Chengyou remembered what happened just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Although he was having fun and laughing with the people around him, his eyes occasionally glanced at Teng Yuyi and Du Shaotang opposite.
Suddenly, he found that Teng Yuyi was looking forward inquiringly.
